A Greener World for the Greater Good.
What is sustainability? For us, it’s about achieving the proper balance between commercial resilience, social interest and environmental responsibility.
We have pursued a “greener for the greater good” philosophy for the last 30 years. Across the Group, our aim is to ensure at all times that our processes achieve the best possible environmental standards as we strive to work towards a Net Zero operation.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint and embracing sustainable energy solutions
At Wilson Resources Group we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and embracing sustainable energy solutions. As part of our ongoing efforts, we have recently introduced solar panels to our Wilson Salt company operations supplying over 25% of its energy needs from renewable sources.
The installation of this 300kW solar system comprises 535 high-efficiency solar panels and 3 robust inverters contributing to saving approximately 28,500 kg of carbon emissions annually. This significant investment supports our goal of reducing carbon emissions, promoting a greener future and reflects Wilson Resources Group forward thinking approach to sustainability.
Carbon Audit
Our investment continues to this day with our new carbon action plan. We are now in stage three of this as at February 2025. This aims to further reduce environmental impact across all our operations. Where carbon reduction is not possible, we will consider optimal approaches to carbon offset.
Activities considered include improvements to woodland growth and preservation, growing seagrass and furnishing all premises wherever possible with energy-saving equipment such as photovoltaic panels.
